I am writing the post (likely a short one) on my phone in the dark, snuggled tightly between an exhausted 6 year old who spent a blissful day at forest school and a giant Alaskan husky who loves nothing more than to be close to someone.
This time of year, for a few weeks or a few months, that malaise comes for me as well. Dreading its arrival can extend its reach. This year, we were lucky with extended sunny warm days. That helped immensely.
The election being over here in the US, and not great but not catastrophic, helped some. Cutting some lingering favored foods that might’ve been (and turned out to be) inflammatory, helped the most.
I’m glad you’ve found some light to see the lovely around you. I know how it is to think it’s not as bad as it is, until you feel better and can see how stark the change really is.
Here’s to more moments of the ability to see it, relish it, and create more of it.
"think it’s not as bad as it is, until you feel better and can see how stark the change really is" <--- THIS BIT. It actually shocked me to laugh at something last night! Thanks for your thoughts Alli. Plant medicine helps me immensely too.

I know that shock. Keep laughing as you can. Your children relish to hear it as much as you do to feel it :)
